I'm Jason Aponte. That's Steph Sanchez. This is the bully ball podcast on the Gold Standard Podcast Network, the only 49ers podcast that refused to run the 40-yard dash.

Steph, what's going on?

Haven't seen you in a while.

Yeah, I know.

Been on a bit of a social media hiatus on, you know, Twitter and whatnot.

So I know I've missed a lot.

I miss the combine.

But, you know, we'll talk about it.

I know you've been following along.

So we'll talk all about that. But I know we got this Trent Williams stuff'll talk about it i know you've been following along so and we'll talk all about

that but i know we got this trent williams stuff to talk about as well so let's dive right into it

yeah um the pivot podcast you know they had trent williams on there i tend to like lean towards

these sort of things with the players being on there.

You know, there was Cam Newton's show where he had a very frank and honest discussion with Steve Smith.

I thought that was great.

But this, you know, I haven't watched it.

But the whole clip that we're about to talk about it, I have feelings. And I'm going to let it play first before we talk about it. But the whole clip that we're about to talk about it, I have feelings. And I'm

going to let it play first before we talk about it.

It's funny you said that I'll tell people all the time, I'd rather not go than to go and

lose because the pain, the losing, that's the last months. That's the last for months.

I was under rock for three, four months. Like, literally, I didn't even want to be seen in public. I didn't want to see no Instagram post. I didn't want to see no Twitter. I actually found peace because I got off of all social media. My phone was as dead as it's ever been and just, you know, I was able to heal properly. It was surreal. I didn't even realize it was over.

I seen the touchdown, and I'm thinking like, damn, it couldn't have ended just like that. And then I don't lie, I see Andy Reed running on the field. I saw all shit's over with. And I literally, bro, I took my helmet off, and I threw it as far in the air as I could possibly throw. I probably threw it like 50 feet in air.
